Question 2

When is it too warm or too cold to apply sealer?

Accepted Answer

Temperatures must be 55 degrees or warmer for 3 hours after application for it to dry properly. Cure times will be longer in cooler conditions and shady areas. The hotter it is, the faster the water evaporates from the sealer and the dry time can be as fast as 30 minutes. Try not to apply if hotter than 105°F.

Question 3

How long does sealer need to dry before it rains?

Ideally sealer should dry for a couple of hours before it rains. It may need more time if it's very cloudy and humid.

Question 4
